"The Old System and the Great Revolution" stated that the people who are most likely to initiate a revolution are usually those in the middle or even the upper echelons of society, because they are more sensitive to social injustice and are the most capable of being leaders than the people at the bottom. Such as Curtis, from the execution of his brutal cannibal period, it can be seen that he is actually a strong leader among the people at the bottom.

After watching this film, you can understand why the General Administration passed this rebellious film. The ending of the movie gave me (I believe to many other viewers) not a hope. Instead, it gives people a sense of revolutionary nihility. Although two children without the power of a chicken have survived the ruins of the system, I don't think they will have the ability to escape a polar bear in a world that is still icy and snowy.

So for many people, the system is both a prison and a shelter. Throughout the history of human civilization, dynasties have changed, but the changes in the coat of the system cannot change the historical class differences in human society. Therefore, the most thorough revolution is not to fight from the bottom to the top within the system and eliminate the high-level enemies, but to fight to the death and break the net and break the system.

There are many people who rebel and riot, but how many people dare to really break the system.
